The Washington Post says the Forty-sixth Ohio Infantry captured the flag of the Thirtieth Louisiana Infantry in front of Atlanta in July, 1864. l. II. Malick, Secretary of the Ohio Regimental Associa- ton, has discovered, after some cor respondence, the representatives of the Louisiana regiment, and has offered on behalf of the Ohioans to return the flag, providing the State authorities of Ohio will grant it." Will Gov. Foraker acknowl- edge the right of the men who cap tured the flag to return it, or will his loyal blood boil in anger at such a wanton attempt to set aside the results of the war, etc?

It will undoubtedly he o f great benefit to the stockmen of the county. NIT. Llewelyn in closing one of his letters to Mir.

A letter received from Judge Wright states there will be no court held at this place until the second Monday in September. The cause of this was the change made by the last Legislature in the time of holding the District Court in this county from the first Monday in August to the first Monday in July not being generally known. The Judge states, however, that when he does come he will be prepared to stay until the docket is cleared of all cases.

There has been a system, If not a habit throughout the county of fencing up public roads and high ways, just as such might present it. self favorahly to the individual and without regard to the legality and danger connected with the proce- dure. No citizen has a right to ob- struct a public thoroughfare by fencing or otherwise, even though he be considerate enough to break down the sage brush and fill up the prairie dog holes for the short dls- tanoe around the obstruction. A public road cannot be fenced up so long as it is used as a common thoroughfare, and the mere fact of the individuals making a new road for that so obstructed, does not war rant, by any means, such actions. No one, except the county authori- ties, have right to change by fem cing or otherwise a public road.

DOME elgntecn months ago, tne Treasurer's safe of Apache county was reported to have been robbed The night on which the decd was supposed to have been done, was cloudy and dark-wel suited for such work, with one exception, In the afternoon and early in the even ing of the night the safe was rob- bed it had raincd. The ground was full of water, and, of course, soft. It would have been next to impos- sible tor three or four men to have moved about, in any limited space, without leaving footprints. Neither could three or four men have rid den into, or out of town, on that night without having left a broad, open trail that blind man could have almost followed.
 It was sometime after the rob- bery, before the people began to look, reason and think over the matter ooolly and calml y-to weigh all the circumstances-take in the situation in all it's bearings. When they did, however, almost every one of ordinary intelligence, arrived at the same conclusion. We will re- capitulate some of the moro mate rial points that almost drove them to the same mind. One of the first things that struck the observant was the official letter head of the Treasurer, on which was printed the following significant sentences |: "All payments due this office must be made in cash. Positively no checks or bankers drafts received" :" It had been customary since the organization of the county, for the Treasurer to take checks from par ties who were known to be respon- sible, and whose checks had always been and are stIll honored on pre- sentation in payment for taxes. It was the first time, ill the history of the county, that cash-and nothing but cash-was demanded by the tax collector.
 The second remarkable circum= stance that struck a great many thinking men, was, that there was in the neighborhood of S20,000 in the Treasurer's hands, and there had been no call made for war rants. Another innovation on time, honored custom.
 The third was that the county had gone to considerable expense in procuring Q safe of the latest and most improved pattern, which is acknowledged to be almost bur clar proof, with all the safeguard

eampment of the Grand Army of the Republic in St. Louis, is one of the manifest and most patriotic productions We have read in many a day. Space prevents it's publica- tion, but the following extract will show its tenor:
 "kathcr than abandon my visit to the West and disappoint your citizens. I might, if I alone were concerned, submit to the insult to which it is quite openly asserted l would be hopeleSsly subjected ii present at the encampment, but l should bear with me the incumben- cy of the peoples highest office, the dignity of which 1 must protect, and I believe that neither the Grand Army of the Republic as an organ ization, nor anything like a major ity of its members would ever en- courage any scandalous attack up on it."

Francisco Baca, ex-Deputy Treas urer of Apache county, was arrest ed upon a warrant at Sprineerville, a few days ago, by Sheriff Owens, and is now lodged in the county jail. Mir, Baca has been arrested upon a charge of grand larceny, and as three or four arrests were made through him for the same of fence some time ago. we now hope he will be equally efficient in prov ing his own innocence, as he was in thinking others did what he now stands charged with himself.

The San Francisco Chronicle prints a series of the most serious charges assigned to H. F. Beecher, son of the late Henry Ward Beech CT, holding the position of Treasury agent at Port Townsend. The charges are based upon affidavits of the late Abner l.. Blaine, form erly deputy collector at Port Town send who died mysteriously at Chi cago last May while on his way to Washington. The principal charge of fraud grows out of large opium seizure which was sold by the gov ernment for thirty-two thousand dollars and out of which an in- former, G. NJ. Roosc, was to receive sixteen thousand dollars. In the papers of Blake it is shown that a Chinaman named An Cooey, of Victoria, was substituted asa dunn my informer and given a small amount of money, other serious objections against the honesty of Beecher are also based on affidavits of persons at Port Townsend. In timation is made that Blake was foully dealt with at Chicago with the view of preventing that expo sure.

attachments. Our Treasurer, how ever, through carelessness, or some thing worse, had neglected to use the most important one of these ]; and not until after the robbery, was the time lock put in working order. These are some of the points that directed the attention of the peo- pie in one direction in looking for the criminal, and not without good reason.
 There Is another point on which a great many are just as we'll sat isfied and that is, that there are quite number of men walking the streets of St. Jokns, who are we'll acquainted with all the facts in re- gard to this robbery; but who, from some cause, maintain a criminal silence. These men are taxpayers and consider themselves good citi- zens are as much interested ill an honest, economical government, as almost any one in the county-yet their lips are hermetically sealed as to this, one of the gravest and most serious offences that can be committed against a common wna1tb

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy, crave food; the nervous system, when vigor- ous and tranquil, gives It's possessor no un- easiness ut night. A tonic, to be effective, nerves to be strengthened and sOothed by the unaided action of sedatiye or a narcotic. What is required is medicine which inyig- orates the stomach, and promotes assimila- ton of food by the system, by which means the nervous system, as well aS other parts of the physical organism, are strengthened. These are the effects of HoStetter's Stomach Bitters, medicine whose reputation Is founded firmly in public confidence, and which physicians commend for It's tonic, an- ti-bilious and other properties. It is used with the best results in fever and ague, rheu- matism, kidney and uterine weakness, and other maladies.
